Post-quantum security is usually just vaporware on roadmap slides. $ALGO deserves credit for actually shipping real accounts that no ordinary key can control.
But here's what matters: they're upfront about the tradeoffs. These accounts cost 3x the minimum fee and can't be batch verified.
That fee premium is the real signal. It tells you what the eventual migration cost will be for everyone when post-quantum becomes standard.
The contract size also jumped to 16,384 bytes with this update. Small detail, big implications for network economics down the line.
